Are there any energy companies that are supplying 'non-smart' meters

Options
Hi, Has anyone had any (recent) success with having a new 'non-smart' electricity meter fitted?

Any recommended energy companies that DEFINITELY offer this?

    Why do you want to deny yourself cheaper electricity tariffs?

    Surely it's Ofgem that Govern what type of meter you can get.

    OFGEN: "Energy suppliers are offering smart metering to all their customers and are required to install a smart meter....unless there is a good reason not to."

    What are you envisioning to count as 'good reason'?

    Edit: sorry, I've just clocked you said you don't want to go into the specific reason.  But unless it's something like, the smart meter physically won't fit in the space available on the backboard, chances are slim that it'd count.

    Although you can have a smart meter and have it left in dumb mode? 
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.
